| Abstract/Contents: | "In 2008, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University researchers conducted research at Cavalier Golf and Yacht Club in Virginia Beach, VA to document the effects of two mowing heights (0.120 and 0.140 inches) with (2-3 times per week) and without rolling on putting green quality and disease severity of Penn A-4 creeping bentgrass. Preliminary results include: Significantly different putting speeds were observed between the mowing heights and the rolled and unrolled plots, with the lower mowing height and the rolled plots having greater speeds by nearly one foot. The rolled plots displayed significantly greater speeds by 7.5 to 12 inches on five more rating dates. During the three-month period that data were taken, little to no differences were observed in either the percentage of disease or quality as affected by the mowing height or rolling. Although not statistically significant, the higher mowing height treatment trended toward less disease and greater quality than the lower mowing height treatment." |
